.. the game is to ruin bitcoins p2p proposition and try to make people think they need to pay more on bitcoin or pay a middle man on alternative networks
The "game" is to make Bitcoin a peer-to-peer electronic
cash system. The second layer solutions don't exist to slow down the adoption,
really
then how come the narrative is "lets not do onchain scaling and instead do subnetwork offramping"
and the whole "be patient onchain scaling will eventually happen when subnetworks hit critical liquidity issues to need more onchain scaling"
yep onchain tx scaling has not occured for 7 years because the direction of the core roadmap is to do subnetworks instead
thus yes subnetworks are a slowdown of onchain scaling
seriously
stop the echo chamber of a small central group. and think about bitcoin (the bitcoin network) as a whole for everyone..
you wanting people to move to other networks is about a small group wanting to get paid to be middlemen(routers)
they want bitcoin to remain limited and costly as it pushes people away from bitcoin
even your quote of the book you mentioned a couple posts ago is telling you this should you read it properly
..
here ill reveal the next phase of the game
once subnetworks are populated they want to then have mechanisms where fee's are collected into a central middleman to then be sent to pools via private contracts outside of the bitcoin network. so that the pools get paid to continue hashing. but without needing people to settle onchain to pay pools via fee's due to more games of making it too expensive to use onchain transactions and keep people locked into subnetworks for YEARS
this "off chain" payments to pools means the users of subnetworks end up paying more routing fee's to fund pools offchain. but where the bitcoin network onchain transactions are made to be even super higher to keep that financial incentive being deemed "cheaper offchain" even though the offchain costs will rise
the whole ploy is not to have a cheap functional decentralised payment network. but a middleman payment network with an expensive to use vault/reserve value network
which only the elitists can afford to use becasue they are only moving large amounts
they(the centralist idols you love/follow) do not want a decentralised bitcoin network for the unbanked without middlemen.. they want the opposite.
yep blockstream and its subsidiaries(chain code labs and brinks) have received hundreds of millions of investment from institutional investors and those investments need to generate returns
the sponsored devs interests are not about "the community/bitcoin ethos" its now their duty to make returns for their investors meaning breaking the bitcoin ethos to fit whatever system can help give back institutions their investments
